WWE regularly uses Twitter to announce matches, appearances, and developments in existing storylines. The company uses social media so efficiently that it accumulated 1 billion global social media followers in 2019.
WWE Superstars also understand the significance of creating their own brands on social media. That is why almost every superstar regularly engages with fans through social media.
Some WWE Superstars are more popular and that often translates into more followers on social media. But being popular doesn't guarantee success on online platforms.
For example, the most over Superstar in WWE's women division is Becky Lynch. Surprisingly, despite her popularity, Lynch only has 1.9 million Twitter followers. By no means is 1.9 million a small number, but it isn't enough for her to even crack the top 10.
Getting followers on Twitter is tough, but some Superstars have managed to accumulate millions of followers. In this article, we will take a look at the top 5 active WWE Superstars with the most followers on Twitter.
(Randy Orton has not been included in this list because he hasn't performed for a month.)
#5 Former WWE Champion The Miz (3.1 Million Twitter Followers)
The A-Lister is undoubtedly one of the most popular superstars in all of WWE, so it's no surprise that he's on this list. The Miz has been one of the most consistent WWE Superstars for over a decade now.
He's also worked on a number of film projects and has his own reality show, all of which have contributed to his growing fame.
The Miz is pretty active on Twitter and regularly uses it to further storylines, promote his reality show, engage with his fans, and voice his opinions.
#4 Former WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins (3.9 Million Twitter Followers)
Seth Rollins boasts a massive 3.9 million followers on Twitter. The former WWE Universal Champion is massively popular among the WWE Universe. Rollins is also one of the most consistent superstars, so it is not surprising that he has a massive social media following.
Rollins regularly creates hype around his current rivalries, engages with fans, promotes his wrestling school and shows his support for sports teams on the platform.
His tweets are incredibly entertaining, so if you are his fan and do not follow him on Twitter, you are definitely missing out.
#3 WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns (4.3 Million Twitter Followers)
The Tribal Chief is the top guy in WWE right now, and therefore his social media following is not a surprise. Reigns currently has 4.3 million followers on Twitter, and it shows how popular he is among the WWE Universe.
Compared to other superstars on the list, Reigns uses Twitter less frequently. Nowadays, he mainly uses it to further his storylines. But in the past, he has used Twitter to interact with fans and also to raise awareness and funds for good causes.
Presently, Reigns is set to face Finn Balor for the Universal Championship. John Cena is also expected to face The Tribal Chief for the Universal Championship shortly. It will be interesting to see how WWE manages to add Cena into the Universal Championship picture.
#2 WWE U.S. Champion Sheamus (4.8 Million Twitter Followers)
Sheamus being the second most followed active WWE Superstar on Twitter might shock many people. But it should be noted that his role in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 helped him grow his mainstream following immensely.
The U.S. Champion is also a major football fan and posts about it regularly. Also, from the looks of it, the Celtic Warrior is a dog lover and has tweeted about several rescue dogs people can adopt.
Sheamus also found great success with his show Celtic Warrior Workouts. On the show, he and a guest try different workouts. He brought several WWE Superstars like Jinder Mahal and Jeff Hardy on the show.
#1 Former WWE Champion John Cena (13.1 Million Twitter Followers)
Who else could have been at the top other than the Leader of the Cenation? Cena was the face of WWE for more than a decade, and though he may be a part-timer now, he still enters the main event whenever he returns.
Cena's jump to Hollywood certainly increased his mainstream following. With him being a part of movies like Fast and Furious 9 and The Suicide Squad, one can only expect his fame to grow.
Of all the Superstars listed here, Cena uses Twitter the most. He primarily uses his Twitter account as a platform to spread positivity, equality and hope.
